Warm Up (10 mins)

Organization: 15x15 yard area. Set area up between Half way line and goal box. Every player has ball. 14-16 players.

Instructions: Players start dribbling in area with the only restriction that they cannot leave the area and hit another player. Can we include some of the skills we looked at from previous session ? Treat other players as defenders.

Coaching Points: Head up when dribbling, looking for other players and space. Using the laces and taking small touches when in tighter spaces : larger touches with the laces that help player explode into space. The technique of the shoulder feint and scissors.

Progressions: Add in two taggers who try to knock the ball away from the defender.

Unopposed (10 mins)

Organization: Players are split into four lines. Every player has a ball. There are four cones in the middle of the field that act as a defender.

Instructions: Players dribble at the cones in the middle. When close to the cones the players perform the move instructed by the coach to get around the cones then explode toward the opposite gate. Once the two player go on opposite cones then the other two players go. After 2-3 minutes switch players onto the other foot.

Coaching Points: Head up to observe the cones. Do the move about 1 yard from the cones to make it more effective. Exaggerate the move. Explode toward opposite gate ( change of pace to lose the defender ). Beat the cones with your body movement. ( shift your weight from one side to the other ). Be aware of other dribblers, work it out.

Progressions: Turn it into a race between the two sets of lines.
